The House of Diorio began as a way to express the many “voices” that exist and compete to be heard in my creative being. Each of the founding members (pictured above) is embodied by me, Cory O’Niell Walker, and engage with a different aspect of my personality, lived experiences, learned skills, interests, dreams, goals, and, of course, performance. The founding members are always at different stages of their “development” because they get put to work as their corresponding ideas are inspired. I like to think of it as a self guided experiment to help me better understand, organize and execute my artist output and its connection to my whole self.
